Eric： What are you doing, Diana?

Diana：I'm reading a book about a{#blank#}1{#/blank#} facts about animals and man.

Eric： Really? What does it say?

Diana：Do you know how much f{#blank#}2{#/blank#}a man has?

Eric： That's an easy question. Usually, it makes up about 15% to 20% of a man's body.

Diana：That's true. And how m{#blank#}3{#/blank#}bones does a man have?

Eric： 206. Everybody knows it.

Diana：That's not always true. A young child has m{#blank#}4{#/blank#}bones than an adult. A baby may

have as many as 305 bones at b{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

Eric： That's really interesting. And does the book say a{#blank#}6{#/blank#}about the giraffe?

Diana：Yes, it's the tallest animal on the e{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. It is almost three t{#blank#}8{#/blank#}as tall as the tallest man.

Eric： Elephants are also tall and big in s{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. These animals must have strong legs.

Diana：But elephants don't have any bones in the b{#blank#}10{#/blank#} of their feet.

    Next, ask your friends and neighbors who are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (有耐心的) to help. Volunteers are important for making sure the party runs successfully. Get plenty of people to help tell others about the party, set up the party, and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(最后) clean up after the party.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(在……期间) the party, many activities are organized for kids so that they can enjoy {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(他们自己). At most parties, food and drinks are served. The parties are the best when everyone brings something to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(分享). There's no better way to bring the community together and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(传播) love and joy than to throw a party! After all, that's what being part of a neighborhood is about.
